clever, but i still cant find anything on him going to the CFL. That seems like a dumb move.

Maybe click it again?

I don't see any way this could be considered a dumb move.

At 18 (give or take), he will not have the physicality to handle a game as physically unforgiving as this one. His body is not ready for it. In football, you just don't think your god-given gifts will quickly translate to any form of professional ball.

Look at the high schoolers who went to the NBA. Unless you are special like Kobe Bryant or LeBron James, you're not going to really excel. I wonder how good that center from Beaumont Ozen would have been -- think he's with Boston now -- had he played in college. Probably would have been a force.

Bryce Brown may be a special player. He'll also regret doing this.

Is he an academic casualty waiting to happen?

He's not going to the NFL, instead he's going to wind up somewhere in between D1A and the NFL. I don't think he will be putting his long term future in any more jeopardy if he's goes up to the great white North than he would if he were to wind up somewhere in the SEC.

nothing is guaranteed... he could go to miami and tear his acl and be done forever. or he could go to the cfl and potentially make $5 million dollars. tough choice for an 18 year old. if this ends up working out and players begin doing this, could we see this open the door to the ncaa paying players to keep them from jumping ship

Most CFL teams have a budget of 5 million a year to pay players I just read. So 5 million a year for 1 player is extreme. Especially when he is fresh outa high school!
